Book Boyfriends Wanted #2
His Curvy Wife
Ramsey
Walking out was the hardest thing I’d ever done. I promised her I’d never do it, but I also promised I’d keep her safe. That was the promise I couldn’t keep if I stayed. I wouldn’t risk her life or her health, so I risked my own heart and walked away.
But she was ready to move on. To meet someone else. To find a new man who’d be willing to put what she wanted above keeping her safe. A new man who’d put his hands on my wife. Love her. Touch her.
Hell. No.
She was still mine.
Melody
I’ve only ever loved one man. One gorgeous, maddening, wonderful man. I even managed to marry him. I thought we’d be together forever, but everything changed when I lost our baby.
Instead of being his wife and lover, I was his new project. Something to fix. I didn’t need to be fixed, though. I couldn’t be. I needed my husband, but he wasn’t there. Some other man was there. A man who stopped seeing me and only saw a fragile, wounded woman he had to shelter.
But it was all over. My husband left me. He couldn’t fix me, so he stopped trying. He told me he wanted a divorce, and I had no reason to make him stay. We weren’t the people we used to be. I still loved him, but, as much as I wanted it to be, sometimes love wasn’t enough.
And sometimes life threw you a curve. Like being paired with my husband on an online dating site. Could it be as easy as starting over?

About the author
Mary E. Thompson
96 books363 followersUSA TODAY Bestselling Author Mary E Thompson spent most of her childhood wishing she had a few less curves. She hid in the pages of books because her favorite characters never cared what size her clothes were. Now, neither does Mary, and she writes stories that celebrate women like her. Real women who have curves, chase dreams, and find love, because we should all be happy, no matter our dress size.
Mary spends her non-writing time with her husband and two kids, watching too much TV, cheering for her hometown football team (Go Bills!), and hiding chocolate from her family.

Disappointed
I gave 2 stars is the author blamed the husband for all the problems and ending was rushed. What happened with the sisters after she admitted she was in love with the husband. The wife didn't even ask him about it.

good but not what you think
This was my least favorite of all her books. The subject matter was probably too close to home for me so I did something I have never done before and skipped to some of the last chapters to see the ending.

Not sure if it's because I did not start with the first book in the series but I could not just get into it. Should I also blame the fact that I read this in between The Body Papers and Concerning my Daughter, both deep Asian that's why this felt too fluffy?
It started in the middle of an ongoing divorce proceedings and it felt like I was dropped into a situation I cannot vibe with.
At the onset, the premise and conflict felt weak. And making an enemy out of a sister is just...I know it happens but ..
I skipped the entire thing because I keep worrying she'd get on with the friend or whatnot. Nothing can hold my attention and they are all giving me whiplash.
I love curvy romances but not this one it seeems. 2 stars for the narrative though.

This was a really good story. Ramsey and Melody have to work through a rough patch in their marriage, all while making their daughter feel secure in their love for her. Mrs. Thompson did a great job writing from each character's POV. She painted a picture of heartbreak and yearning from both characters. The ending was quite a surprise and a good direction. If only the editing could have been better.
This is the first of many books I have to read from this author. I'm looking forward to it.

His Curvy Wife
This book had all the emotions! I laughed, swooned, cried, and got angry. Melody and Ramsey belonged together, to me it was so obvious. Their chemistry and love was so well written. But man I wanted to throttle Willow! Loving this series, excited for the next book.

I didn’t love the relationship between the two leads - so I wasn’t rooting for them to get back together. The sister is also terrible. Basically I was ready to offer the heroine a job and a place to live so she could not get back together with her husband. Not for me.

Sorry the end was a no for me. I'm all for a second chance but this is wrong, especially if you're going to blame someone else. This was really disappointing, especially if they can't get their shit together

2nd one in the series, and I'm definitely hooked. I figure I will read the whole series before I even think about another book. That's how good they are!

Tremendous Twists
When I began it was good then it took a dark turn I suspected the sister but WOW SERIOUSLY?
Then the NO BACK BONE HUSBAND SMH.

5/5 ⭐️ I loved this book!!

Cute novella. I adored Melody and Ramsey.

Great premise, but I wish Melody talked to too many people about her business and Ramsey should have had more stones to get back his wife.

The husband was always saying the wrong things and had to be told by his friends what he did wrong, as if he could not figure it out on his own. There was not conclusion to the conflict between the sisters.
The husband was working on a case and I only noticed that his client is a POC (person of color) when it read in the book “…quickly dismissed the two white men as decidedly not his cousin.” UM WHAT!!! And the next book in the series is the husband’s client and on the cover is a black man. As a POC, I was disappointed by the lack of description put into both of the non-white characters of the book. I do not mean descriptions like “chocolate skin”, or “warm butter skin”. It made it seem the characters were chosen to be POC for diversity, and even then you can just imagine away that the characters are not white because of the lack of description.
Please author, do your research of how to write POC characters when deciding to put POC in your books. I will not be reading the next book in the series for this reason.
